The coronavirus pandemic has had an unparalleled impact on the UK’s business landscape, and never has the need for business support been greater.

With its Royal Charter, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales’ (ICAEW) has a clear commitment to acting in the public interest.  Our network of 154,000 Chartered Accountants has an incomparable reach into the business world in the UK, and we are keen to mobilise their expertise to support businesses affected by coronavirus.

The ICAEW has a UK-wide Business Advice Service (BAS) scheme where businesses can access a free consultation with an ICAEW Chartered Accountant to discuss what they can do to safeguard their business at this difficult time.

We think this scheme will be of huge benefit to the businesses in your area.  They can search for a BAS firm here by checking the BAS filter on the directory, and we hope that you will promote this service to them via your communications channels.
